Hey Everyone,

I'm working on a Newschoolers hoodie design made in collab with Voleurz...and I wanted to give you guys a sneak peak and at the same time get some feedback!

Let me know what you like and dislike about them.

$80 - would put people off - wouldn't sell as many - plus it's direct comp with Jibberish and you know how that would go down price wise...  

$50-$60 - probably about right

$40 - dam i'd buy two! You could order a shit tonne more in bulk, kids won't buy a single hoodie for $80, but i can see them buying two for $40 each!! (it's all commercial pyschology)... boom, sell more units, bulk order more units, thus lower manufacturing costs = more profit - and everyone is stoked on a an awesome hoodie that is super value for money....

I can't justify paying 90-100 bucks for a hoodie, I don't care how quality they are.

Purple is definitely the dopest out of the group. The button up ones really aren't my style

if you use the front of the left ones (zip ones) and the back with the stripe across it would be so sick! and i like the black and grey the best.

The black and grey one with the buttons would be sick if it didn't have big faggy buttons on it. The zip up ones are sick, but if the black and grey button one was just a zip up that would be the best.

I know what you mean but its just ridiculously expensive and there is no way people like me will buy it. Its a sweatshirt, what are you putting in there to make them worth $100? I no the fabric costs no where near $100.

WHen companies charge that much (yes jibberish and other companies included) it just makes me think of this http://www.carradanskis.com/

Also IMO hoodies with different colored sleeves look cool on paper but funny in person.

1) Top Left
2) Zippers
3) Sizing, looks like a small skinny fit.  I'm more in to a baggy, long fit (more jiberish style fit).

no offence here if i come off a bit arrogant, but seriously. how much do you think it costs to make your skis and your jackets? the price gap is no different, mark ups are still outrageous but there's a reason. someone has to pay the employees, and someone still has to keep their business opened. 70-90$ is the average price for a men's hoodie, and maybe if some of you are so smitten and disagree, you should go to a store once in a while. not to mention, you have to make money to make more items to sell. usually when you think you're breaking the bank on a sale item, consider that a store isn't really making a profit half the time. you have to pay rent, and heating for the shop, and etc.


anyways, sorry to be such a downer. i think it's a great start. i really think you guys need to drastically switch up your colors though. primary colors are a thing of the past. but then again, i haven't bought a black hoodie in eons so i guess i could use one. but i dunno. mint green? teal? purple and a color? tone on tone greens? electric blue is hot...anyways.

If I wanted an NS hoodie, I'd want something like the Line Jib... only slightly taller. Like a normal hoodie, only just slightly taller.

I think the problem is that Voleurz is way too limited of a target demographic... even for NS. Personally I wouldn't wear any of these. Not to be a jerk.

make SURE they are not reverse cut. i cant stand hoodies that have like a 3xl front (with the zipper part and shit) and then around back it cuts up to like a 2xl. bugs the shit out of me. make it the same length all around

for me id say something along the lines off this:

http://www.billabong.com/us/product-cat/264/mens-layers#item_2974_hecktic

but in purple and fluro green, or some other awesome showy colours. and a big NS on the front like the 1st and 3rd hoodies your working on.

being an Australian even a $50 hoodie ends up costing over $100 when converted to australian dollars and then major shipping charges are also applied, so the cheaper the hoodie the better it is on my side.

My favorite color combos:
Blue/Orange
Purple/White (like you guys did)
And Rasta

1. Bottom left is my favorite of the options.
2. ZIP for sure. Buttons are cool, but it just takes too long to do them all up... they look awesome, but I prefer zippers. I'd still buy one if it were buttons, though.
3. I'd add a splash of turquoise for sure- purple and turquoise look amazing together. Maybe on the pocket on one side, and the sleeve on the opposite? And the string should be turquoise, too.

In order to demonstrate the amazingness of purple and turquoise, here is a picture:

I like the top two the best, although I already have a lot of zip-ups, so I'm gonna go with the buttons.

1) Top-Right
2) (color?) black/grey or turquoise/teal
3) nothing

I love everything about the purple one but it needs to be taller.
Depending on quality I would pay no more than 70

Visually, I like the top left. I don't do purple personally (just cannot stand it), but many others love it so I can see it selling.

Price-wise, the only way I could justify $80 for a hoodie is if it had technical features. I have a $100 Oakley hoodie, but it is wind/water resistant. For a basic cotton hoodie, I've gotten quality hoodies for $50 no problem, and I'd likely draw the line at that point.

i dunno dude. large jiberish fits perfectly well for someone who is like 5 11. i wear a M and am 5'11" but could of gone large. getting into the xl's and xxl's is where they get ridiculous to wear around. i would definetly want a "tall" hoodie, just not too tall.

black and gray with buttons fo sho.
but ya like everyone else says, i wouldnt be willing to pay 100 dollars. I dont buy voleurz stuff if the first place because it is too expensive. I like to rep ns, and these hoodies look sick, but the only reason i would be buying it is because of ns. And 100 dollars is a little excessive

1. black and grey

2. Zip

3. instead of having one sleeve one colour... id make both sleeves that colour..
id opt for something like black with red logo/sleeves... make the font on the back a tad bigger (just to rep the company more)

And i think but i might be mistaken you have the thumb holes at the end of the sleeve? I never have liked that feature in hoodys/jackets

As for price.. i doubt id pay more than 70
